Jonesboro police offering reward in homicide case

The Jonesboro Police Department has continued to pursue a number a leads following the shooting death of William Keith Gosney at his Jonesboro home, just after 9:00pm on Monday 05/12/14. Gosney was shot multiple times and the investigation is still focused on the likelihood that Gosney was known to his assailant and was specifically targeted. Although the victim was able to make a statement to responding officers, he was unable to give the suspect’s name.

Investigators have also located surveillance video at a nearby business in the area that might yield additional suspect information. A vehicle was captured on video leaving the area at a high rate of speed immediately after the incident occurred. (Photo attached) At this time, investigators are considering the occupants of this vehicle only as a person(s) of interest.
